About The Paranoid Squirrel

The Paranoid Squirrel was originally
formed in April 2000 by Armitage and Jo-Squirrel. The name comes from the book
'Lost In Music' by Giles Smith which Jo-Squirrel, quite rightly, thought would
fit a CD/Record mail order company that would bring Scandinavia closer to your
stereo. Come 2006 The Paranoid Squirrel was becoming too specialised. The trend
was to download even though many people were still asking for vinyl. So
Armitage took the bold step to go into podcasting as he believed people still
wanted, needed to hear good music that the mainstream and even DAB radio
stations were failing to deliver. Jo-Squirrel, who was very experienced in the
realms of Pirate Radio having shows on RFL to name but one station, declined to
participate in the latest Paranoid Squirrel adventure. It is safe to say
without her imagination, input, influence and general squirrelness Armitage
wouldn't be as musically aware as he is today. (but he'd be a lot richer)

The first Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show
was unleashed on the 21st July 2007 as a downloadable only file but
from the second show onwards the show could be found on mevio which sadly since
April 2014 ceased to be. All the shows from Ep 1 to the latest one can be found
on

The Paranoid Squirrel makes no revenue
whatsoever from the podcasts hoping that listeners to the shows will
financially support the bands played though seeing them live or purchasing
their records and CDs.
